Resumen del Recurso

Pregunta Respuesta
epileptic focus Region of the brain where the seizure originates from
Paroxysmal Depolarising Shift burst firing before a seizure
Simple seizures no loss of consciousness
complex seizures loss of consciousness
Generalised seizures not localised to one hemisphere
Contractions tonic clonic atonic tonic-clonic
Absence seizures Pressing pause
Components of the PAD Interictal spike Ictal seizure Post ictal depression
Interictal spike Burst firing due to change in AP
Ictal seizure Membrane remains depolarised for a long time --> no repolarisation
Post ictal depression no activity "conc" out
Determinants of PAD Calcium channels Hyperpolarisation and repolarisation (potassium activated calcium channels) Sodium (for depolarisation and ap generation)
Tigabine Targets gaba transporters in neurone and glial cells inhibits gaba reuptake
*Vigabatrin GABA-T Prevents GABA degradation into succinic semialdehyde and eventually succinate
Valproate GABA and GLU metabolism Increases GABA, Decreases GLU Potentiates GABA at GABAaRs (Cl- ch) Treatment of absence seizures
Tezampenel AMPA antagonist Kainiate/NMDA antagonist Decreases the action of GLU Potential agonist at metabotropic Glu receptors (--> decrease of GLU) Psychosis and memory impairment
Carbamezipine - Na+ Ch/use-dependent block Holds the channel in its inactive state where it has an enhanced effect (burst firing neurons are active here in the interictal phase) Partial, General seizures and neuropathic pain
Phenytoin Na+ Ch inhibitor Voltage gated Ca2+ ch inhibitor Partial, general seizures
Phenobarbitone Potentiates GABA at GABAa Receptors Partial and general seizures
Diazepam Potentiates GABA at GABAa. Status epilepticus (children) Used if seizure +5mins as tonic contractions can be fatal (resp depression) Tolerance problems
Ethosuximide Blocks t type ca channels Targets release of neurotransmitter from presynaptic terminals
Iamotrigine Inhibits Na+ Ch
Gabapentine Calcium channel inhibitor Binds to alpha 2 delta subunit and prevents trafficking of Neurotransmitter vesicle to plasma membrane Neuropathic pain
*Leuiteracetam Binds to SV2A protein prevents NT being packaged into vesicles
*Topimarate Sodium channel inhibitor Calcium channel inhibitor Migraine treatment
*Zonisamide Na Channel block ?others
Felbamate NMDA channel antagonist GABA a potentiator SE: Anticonvulsant?
